To find the values of x, y, and z in the equation T = k * M^x * L^y * g^z, where k = 2π:
1. Start by analyzing the variables:
- T represents the period of the pendulum (time taken for one complete oscillation).
- M represents the mass of the pendulum bob.
- L represents the length of the pendulum thread.
- g represents the acceleration due to gravity at the place concerned.
2. Let's break down the equation step by step:
- T = k * M^x * L^y * g^z
- We know that k = 2π, so substitute it into the equation:
T = 2π * M^x * L^y * g^z
3. Now, we need to find the exponents x, y, and z by identifying how these variables affect the period of a pendulum:
- The period T is proportional to the square root of the length (L) of the pendulum thread. We can express this as L^(1/2), so y = 1/2.
- The period T is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity (g). We can express this as g^(-1/2), so z = -1/2.
- The period T is not affected by the mass (M) of the pendulum bob, so x = 0.
Therefore, the values of x, y, and z are: x = 0, y = 1/2, z = -1/2.
To derive an expression relating T (period), M (mass), L (length), and g (acceleration due to gravity), we can use the equation T = k * M^x * L^y * g^z:
T = 2π * M^x * L^y * g^z
Since we found that x = 0, y = 1/2, and z = -1/2, we can substitute these values into the equation:
T = 2π * M^0 * L^(1/2) * g^(-1/2)
Since any value raised to the power of 0 is 1, we simplify further:
T = 2π * 1 * L^(1/2) * g^(-1/2)
Final expression relating T, M, L, and g:
T = 2π * √(L/g)
